A friend of mine just emailed me one of your articles from a while back. I read that one a few more. Really enjoy your blog. Thanks
Jay and Mike, I really like the ideas around the collaboration lounges and the idea galleries! We all like to draw pictures on the back of napkins. It sounds like your collaboration lounges provide the tools for people to do that during the breaks. Excellent ideas!!
Jay Smethurst and his partner, Brian, are very creative in their approach to group meetings. The illumination gallery creates a great venue to have interactions and come up with solutions among peers. The visual concept is very interesting and helpful. They can help any size group solve problems and move companies forward. Creating great interactions makes it worthwhile for companies to bring their people together! Well done, Jay!
Randy- Thanks so much for checking out the blog.
Sam- I think you are totally right! This type of collaboration lounge will become more and more of a “must have” for people to share and build on ideas.
Jane- Thanks so much for the comment. I agree!
Mike
